If i want an attachment just for cutting circular holes, should i get the Reciprocating Saw Attachment or the Jigsaw attachment??

I'm not familiar with the reciprocating saw attachment, but in general, you'd use the jigsaw for fine work. If you really want precise circular holes, buy a hole saw, and use it with the drill attachment. You can usually find individual ones to fit the size you need without buying a whole set. That's what I used to cut a hole for a 12 volt power plug in the paneling of my RV. You'll probably also find that one hole saw will be quite a bit cheaper than buying another attachment.

This attchment is just jig-saw(line-cutting). if you want cut circular holes, you must buy other attachment like hole-saw or router. and this item is attachment accessory. cant work only this item.

Very similar, smaller, cordless, " hackzall" I'm glad I got it, works well. Good battery life also. Yes it is a reciprocating saw.

General case, a metal cutting blade. Somewhat depends on the access constraints to the cut based on the geometry. If you have a reciprocating saw, you might find a blade such as the Milwaukee "torch" blade of an appropriate length more effective. It will cut heavy metal very quickly. Some tools are more appropriate for tasks than others. In any case, you will have an easier task if the object being cut is firmly fixed (bolted, clamped, etc.) to resist vibration induced by the cutting tool.

what I know is that the blades for jigsaw are different in the holding style then the reciprocating or sawzall which this is designed for, so you may try it but I don't think it will work???

The roatary tool (I call it a dremel) is way more versatile in terms of the materials it can cut through and how small its cuts can be. The jig will be better for longer cuts that need to be straight, but primarily in wood and you have to drill a hole to start with. If your tiles are in the wall, or made of anything other than wood or some similar hardness material, I would get the rotary tool. If you have them off the wall, a jig would serve you just as well.

Absolutely not.....great tool but not a substitute for a circ saw.....you would be better off using a Jig saw as a replacement

The Rip Cut was designed to work with most circular saws...I use a craftsman circular saw ...but again the Rip Cut is adjustable.

my kit came with a masonry blade, okayto use, but i would get the homedepot tile saw, the cheap one, for cutting multiple tile

Husband says that you'll find more power and control from a 110V jig saw versus this attachment. This attachment is more for lighter duty jobs. Hope this helps!

Not sure why you want to use circular saw, but it cuts extremely easy with just a knife. If you ciut with a knife you should not need a respirator.

Kathleen, I wish that I could help you (read my review--Tom Sheffield) but since the third time fixing this jigsaw I have gone with Bosch with zero problems. I still use the Dewalt but now I no longer change the blade as I only use it with the flush cut blade, and not often. I am afraid it will break again the next time I attempt to release the blade. For what it's worth I no longer deal with Makita either--Bosch had become my go to company for power tools.

I don't know. I use the saw for wood only. If I was going to cut some metal I would use my hacksaw or a torch.

I purchased this saw thinking it will do what you are asking. The answer is "very disappointed in its performance and didn't meet my expectations". You're better off with Rockwell VersaCut circular saw to replace the disappointing RotoZip. I later bought the VersCut and very satisfied. It has all the features and performance you need. Right now the Rockwell is selling for $103 on Amazon. I'm happy with the VersaCut and worth the money spent. Disregard purchasing the RotoZip saw. Waste of money.

I used a standard 3/4 hole saw that you can pick up at any lowes or home depot for about 10 bucks, The diamond drill is overkill unless you are going to mount it in a glass container. Hope this help save you a buck or two!!!

I don't have any experience with cutting vinyl siding with this saw, but I would say, after cutting wood with it (one handed, by the way), it should do the job. I can't say what kind of edge it would leave, but I think it would be better than that of a regular circular saw, as the "teeth" are actually adhered silicate(?) particles. I see no problem with one-handed operation, but it it is not quite as easy as with a regular hand saw. The saw is essentially a large Dremel tool. Note well - use the vacuum attachment if possible or work in a open space, as this saw really produces dust. Hope I have helped with your decision. I would buy this saw again. For the reconditioned price, it's a steal.

Yes, but so will it's twin that I have -- the wood cutting miter saw. Actually the wood cutting version has a better fence and guides for cutting PVC, and the blade spins faster.

The best way to cut is with heated wire or in the case if circles, a well heated metal tube. Drills work well also for circular cutting, but saws are a no no. Sand paper does not work either.
